Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At the-quantum.ca, we believe sports betting should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Gambling carries risks, and it's important to approach it with a responsible mindset. Only bet what you can afford to lose, and never gamble money needed for essentials like rent, food, or bills.

Age Verification

Sports betting in Canada is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal age in your province). We are committed to preventing underage gambling. If you are under the legal age, please do not use our website or place any bets.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:

• Chasing losses: Trying to recover lost money by betting more
• Hiding gambling activity: Being secretive about the time or money spent gambling
• Loss of control: Being unable to stick to betting limits you've set
• Gambling with money for essentials: Using funds intended for bills, groceries, or rent
• Neglecting relationships and responsibilities: Spending less time with family or friends, or neglecting work or school
• Mood changes: Becoming irritable, anxious, or depressed when unable to gamble
• Escalating bets: Needing to bet more to achieve the same excitement
• Failed attempts to quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gambling
• Using gambling to cope: Betting to escape stress, anxiety, or other problems
• Borrowing money to gamble: Taking loans or using credit to fund gambling activities

Self-Help Tools

Most responsible sportsbooks offer tools to help you stay in control. These may include:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you're willing to lose before stopping
• Betting Limits: Cap the maximum stake per bet
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been gambling and how much you've wagered
• Session Time Limits: Set automatic logout times to limit continuous play
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from betting platforms

We encourage you to use these tools as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
